Abstract

گردشگری کوله‌گردی نوعی از سبک سفر ماجراجویانه است که در سال‌های اخیر با افزایش چشم‌گیری رو به رو بوده ‌است و کوله‌گردان گردشگرانی هستند که تنها با یک کوله‌پشتی و کمترین بودجه ممکن سفر می‌کنند. مقصد آن‌ها مناطق کمتر شناخته شده و طبیعت است. کوله‌گردان با هدف کشف مقصدهای جدید و ارتباط با جوامع محلی و شناخت آنها سفر می‌کنند و نقش پر رنگی در شناسایی و معرفی مقصدهای کمتر شناخته شده‌ی گردشگری دارند. اگرچه روند انتخاب سبک سفر کوله‌گردی توسط جوانان در ایران صعودی است، اما کمتر پژوهشی را در این زمینه و تاثیرات آن بر صنعت گردشگری و جامعه محلی می‌توان یافت. هدف از مطالعه‌ی حاضر آگاهی از نگرش ساکنین روستا نسبت به پدیده کوله‌گردی و نیز آگاهی از اثرات اجتماعی فرهنگی آن برای جوامع میزبان روستایی است. بدین منظور، روستای درک واقع در شهرستان چابهار استان سیستان و بلوچستان به عنوان مطالعه موردی انتخاب شده است. در این پژوهش به منظور جمع‌آوری اطلاعات از روش مصاحبه و به منظور تجزیه و تحلیل اطلاعات از روش تحلیل مضمون بهره گرفته شده است. یافته‌ها حاکی از آن است که کوله‎گردی و کوله‎گردان به طور مستقیم و غیر مستقیم، اثرات مثبت و منفی اجتماعی- فرهنگی قابل توجهی بر روستای درک دارند.
